The master's education gives you in-depth knowledge in geology. You learn about the formation and structure of Earth, climate variations, prehistoric life and evolution. You work with modern methods used in geology. This includes studies in geochronology, geochemistry, isotopes, sedimentology, dating methods, palaeontology, landforms and soil formation.
You take part in lectures and exercises in well-equipped classrooms and teaching laboratories. The department has a large range of advanced research equipment. This includes geochemical analysis instruments, state-of-the-art microscopes for the analysis of rock types and microfossils as well as various dating laboratories, for example for determining the age of minerals and organic materials.
Fieldwork forms an important part of the studies. You participate in field trips both in Sweden and abroad to learn more about different types of bedrock, sediment, landscape and environmental history. The program is flexible with good opportunities for specialization and exchange studies. The program has a strong connection to research, and all teachers are researchers. The department has several world-leading research groups. The education is given in English. You practice oral and written presentations and gain good experience in group collaboration.
